Javi will undoubtedly correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe
nessus-fetch is part of the nessusd package in Debian unstable. Install
that and you should be fine.
Correct, it does not make sense to install nessus-plugins (which
provides 'nessus-update-plugins') in a system with no Nessus daemon
(provided in the nessusd package which provides the 'nessus-fetch'
code). Maybe the package should 'Recommend' nessusd... hmmm..
Also, note that nessus-fetch (and consequently nessus-update-plugins)
modifies the configuration file for nessusd so it does not make sense
to run it in a system that does _not_ have the daemon. You could still
run nessus-update-plugins
Install it from source; see <http://thc.org/thc-hydra/> to get started.
Yep. That's the only way to get it in Debian, as I've said in a
previous mail, it has been removed from the archive due to licensing
reasons.

Javier
